It was a medium experience tbh I can appreciate it but I think that since it was a translation (and I say this a lot) it had less of a flow and as I wasn’t very captivated by the plot or connected to the characters it made it more challenging to enjoy.
I did enjoy the themes and the writing was not terrible, the plot definitely picks up in the second half.

It's a good book indeed! I love it, the humor this book contains was why i love it so much. There are also some lesson learned in this book and it means so much for me. It's my first book that written by Japanese author, i read the translation ver, Indonesian ver! I recommended this book to those who wants to read a short book yet a fun and good story.
